upgrading 600m cpu

Yes but they are expensive right now, best to wait till they drop in price.

so, are you saying that i can upgrade to a dothan 2ghz processor w/o the need to change my motherboard?

my 600m was bought november 2003, and i have a Pentium-M 1.5Ghz

Dothans will work - Sonomas (533 bus) will not.

ok. if you are correct. then you just made my day! haha. i will upgrade my lovely 600m to a dothan. not now thought. maybe later this year. i cant wait for more power. my 600m is great except the stupid HD heat so im stuck with 4200rpm. other than that, its perfect for me

Well upgrading the CPU will add more heat too.

Yep, you may just need a bios flash but it will work.

As a note though the 2.0's and 2.1's are expensive, I just checked the price on a 2.1 and it was Liike $650 just for the CPU.

hmm. so can i put a: Intel Centrino 760 Pentium M 2.0Ghz 2MB L2 Cache Dothan 533Mhz FSB SL7SM on my dell 600m? it currently has p-m1.5g cpu (the original p-ms)
